Once I was young and carefree And thought I would never see A grey hair or wrinkle on me Oh my, I was wrong as could be. Mornings when my alarm clock rings I know it is time to hit the floor I slowly roll over to slide off the bed And feel every joint I have is sore. I feel so many aches and pains Can't help but wonder why And I think I can do anything But my body says don't even try. I grab my soft comfy sweats With elastic all the way around I am shocked as I look in the mirror At this older person I found. I am no longer young and carefree But I am as happy as I can be Even though I am no longer thirty three I know God loves and takes care of me. Verse © 2006 Glenna M.
